LINDEN – A man’s body was recovered this afternoon from 8 feet of water in Mormon Slough about 12 miles east of Stockton.

The man was identified as Miguel Angel Luna Carrillo, who was last seen drinking beer in an orchard in Linden before friends say he wandered off into the orchard.

About 1:16 p.m. today, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from a passerby who spotted the body in the slough where it crosses under East Milton Road just east of Duncan Road. The body appeared to have been in the water for several days, authorities said.
